Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
🌸Welcome!

These colorful and interactive lessons are live video recordings in which an animated & positive Ms.Bree will teach your child as if they're with her in real time!  Ms.Bree anticipates student needs and asks them questions as they complete fun and focused activities throughout the video lessons.  

Your child will be engaged in mastering common lacking foundational skills for K-1 students. For example, they will learn how to remember the difference between common letter reversals (b,d,p,q,w,m,u,y), how to use reading strategies to figure out tricky words, and how to edit.  Learners will build confidence with their decoding skills through fun blending and segmenting opportunities as well.  

It's as if they're in class with Ms.Bree, but on your time and at your child's speed.  In addition to the five lessons, you will also receive personalized support, printable letter reversal posters, and access to two free blending and segmenting videos for additional practice.

Let's Have Fun & Learn a Ton!
💖Ms.Bree

Learning Goals

By the end of this short course, students will be able to determine the difference between common letter reversals.  They will learn how to blend, segment, and edit their writing.  They will read sentences in sight word stories, and add onto books based on pattern recognition.  They will build sight words, learn about mirror words, and more!  

This course ensures that your child is prepared for 1st Grade content and beyond, by filling in the gaps commonly found with Kinder & 1st Grade students.
